Description

Mux is building the future of online video infrastructure. Our first product is analytics and monitoring - think “NewRelic for Video."

We’re looking for video engineers to work on a new project related to video transcoding and optimization. You’ll work in C, C++, and Go to help build a greenfield system that will change the way people publish video online.

We also authored Video.js, the biggest HTML5 video player on the web. We were named one of the best Y Combinator startups of 2016, and we recently raised a Series A from Accel, who joined existing investors SV Angel, Lowercase, the founders of Heroku, Parse, and others.
